Ship tracks, the polluted marine clouds that trail ocean-crossing vessels, are a signature of modern trade.

For instance, Michael shares us a nugget of information of Ivan the Terrible, with the Czar claiming he had “deflowered thousands of virgins and butchered a similar number of resulting offspring. In an even more ironic twist, Hitler had banned Germans from accepting the awards four years before his own name was thrown in the ring. He experienced a situation in which he thought he was going to die, the memory of which stayed with him and "formed his character".

Unfortunately, and it really does pain me to have to point this out to a man of Michael's obvious calibre, it seems that Michael is the know-all. When his career took him to London in 1954 after his provincial apprenticeship, his agent informed him that there was already a Michael White performing as an actor in London and that he had to come up with a new name immediately.

Caine's Harry Palmer character (with the glasses, the girls, and disregard for authority) was among the many British pop cultural influences for Mike Myers' Austin Powers films. He was learning his trade in repertory at the Sheffield Playhouse when he met a young actress named Patricia Haines (not the one of 'Edna The Inebtiate Woman' fame'). He then worked briefly as a filing clerk and messenger for a film company in Victoria and film producer Jay Lewis on Wardour Street. Normally, when you hum, the air is able to escape through your nose to create the sound, and of course, it can’t do that when you’re holding it shut.Caine later clarified that he had no intention of retiring, stating that "You don't retire in this business; the business retires you. At the Denmark Strait, the cold water from the Nordic Sea is denser than the Irminger Sea’s warm water, making it drop almost two miles down at 123 million cubic feet per second.

In 2017, Caine was cast in a spoken cameo role in Christopher Nolan's action-thriller Dunkirk (2017), based on the Dunkirk evacuation of World War II, as a Royal Air Force Spitfire pilot, as a nod to his role of RAF fighter pilot Squadron Leader Canfield in Battle of Britain (1969). According to his 2010 autobiography The Elephant to Hollywood, Caine had been signed to a seven-year contract by Joseph E. He has received numerous awards including two Academy Awards, a BAFTA Award, three Golden Globe Awards, and a Screen Actors Guild Award.

Craig Ferguson ran segments on his show where he parodied Caine, usually while wearing a space suit. When asked whether he is ever tired of telling his anecdotes, Caine stated: "I enjoy making people laugh.
